How to Use This Classification

Pinpoint the exact item-level NMFC within this produce group (e.g., apples vs. leafy greens) before rating; class can change by item and packaging.
Protect the cold chain: pre-cool product and request reefer LTL or insulated liners for longer hauls to maintain proper pulp temperatures.
Use vented cartons, RPCs, or sturdy field crates with moisture barriers; band or wrap to pallets and brace corners to prevent crush damage.
Coordinate tight delivery windows and add clear labels like “Do Not Freeze” and “Stack Max” to reduce handling errors and claims.

Business Value

Accurate NMFC selection avoids reclass fees and rebills, preserving thin margins on seasonal produce lanes.
Improved packaging and temperature control reduce OS&D and shrink, lowering claim ratios and insurance costs.
Reefer consolidation and morning delivery slots cut dwell and protect shelf life, boosting DIFOT performance.
Standard RPCs and 40x48 pallets increase cube utilization, improving rate-per-pound on LTL and pool shipments.
